Cellular Respiration
Across
- 2. gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell
- 4. The process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen, gas to produce energy from food
- 6. A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars)
- 11. a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation
- 12. the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
- 13. an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae)
Down
- 1. a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation
- 3. a molecule that participates in many biochemical reactions in protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
- 5. a salt or ester of pyruvic acid.
- 7. a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.
- 8. a sequence of reactions in the living organism in which oxidation of acetic acid or acetyl equivalent provides energy for storage in phosphate bonds (as in ATP)
- 9. the movement of ions across a semipermable membrane bound structure, down their electrochemical gradient
- 10. an important “energy molecule” found in all life forms
